Sorrow Asylum

Sorrow Asylum is a looping horror game set in an abandoned asylum that also serves as a prison of the mind. You explore its halls and uncover the story of the place and its residents as the asylum grows more dangerous the longer you stay.

The asylum

Time stops in the asylum unless you progress by taking calendar pages to your room in the basement. Your presence increasingly affects the place, and horrors try to stop, fix or change you. The game has 15 day cycles, with the asylum becoming more sinister and dangerous as they go on.

Its residents

You meet Lara and the Plague Doctor. Lara appears to be a fellow patient whose room is next to yours, but it is not always clear whether she is helping you or working against you. The Plague Doctor may try to treat you, but his treatment can be painful; he can also stop time from moving and damage you.

Facing the unknown

You can run and hide, but often have to confront the unknown and keep learning the asylum's story. The evil can be locked up. Prison, Grotto and Asylum are unsafe places that manifest through you.
